Golden State Nationals...in Lancaster.

Wow! Lancaster was one heck of a National! An experience for sure...It was tough, my dad couldn't come, he was at home sick, so the trip already started out a little rough..The weather was tough! The 5 Expert class - even tougher! It was fun though, seeing my little buddies, Jack and Carson and their parents..Thanks for your support! You were right there with me with encouraging words when I didn't make my main on Saturday and my mom and I were right there cheering you on in the MAIN! I'm glad to see that everyone was okay and didn't get hurt while riding in the mud and wind! Kudo's to Jack - 1st place all the way dude! Carson - loved the consistency little buddy!  Jack, I had a great time playing with you on Friday.

I came out Sunday with a positive attitude and determined to make my mine, and I did just that! I took 4th and was happy with my BLUE TROPHY! My buddy Aidan took 1st in the 5I class - ahhh yeah! The weather was perfect and I got to go hang in the GT trailer with my favorite girl PRO, Rachel Luna. While there I met Randy Stumphauser and Vet Pro Erik Rupe. They signed my GT Jersey that Rachel gave me..(I love Rachel!). In addition, I hung out with the ABA Crew at Applebys on Friday and was invited in the ABA Trailer.  The ride in the ELITE van was sooooo fun. We had a blast riding home joking around with BMX HEX! What a cool crew! Thanks to all my racing buddies back home in NOR-CAL that sent messages/texts cheering me on...OH - did I mention my cool big sister (ALYSSA CANEVARI) made her main all 3 days in 11 Girls and got 2nd on Friday, Crashed on Saturday (took 5th) and 4th on Sunday (by the way - she beat out a NAG 4 rider)....The weekend was AWESOME aside from a few setbacks! To all BMX'ers keep your head up and stay positive....
